KING GEORGE

The Action of a Leader.

People, you have heard of an important matter that is being dealt with at present. It is not a new matter, but during this time of war, that is, just recently it has occupied the thoughts of the leaders of the English Empire. That matter is something we are very familiar with – the prohibition of alcohol. Perhaps you will tell us to take on a different issue saying that it is an issue of the past. But we would make it clear to you that although the issue is an old one it is one that comes up in different ways at various times.
